Instants/sorceries with Ixidor and Manifest, what happens?
Asked by LittleGreen 9 years ago
Let's say Ixidor, Reality Sculptor is on the field, and I somehow manifest a sorcery card as a face down creature if I turn it face up with ixidor will it resolve? or will it go straight to the graveyard? or would I have a sorcery on the field...that acts like a creature? Thanks!
The rules are already out.
A non-permanant can't be turned face-up. If something would turn it face up, it is instead revealed and then left face down.

Are they? I checked the WOTC rules portal and their docs were last updated in June. Can you link me to the new docs?

701.31e A face-down permanent represented by an instant or sorcery card can't be turned face up. If an effect instructs a player to turn one face up, its controller reveals it and leaves it face down. Abilities that trigger whenever a permanent is turned face up won't trigger.
It's in the Fate Reforged Release Notes. They haven't been migrated to the CR yet.

We'll have to see what rules updates come with the set's release. However, instants and sorceries cannot exist on the battlefield. The rules currently prevent them from entering the battlefield, and I would assume that they will soon prevent them from being turned face-up because they are not permanents.
You could try messaging Matt Tabak on social media for a more conclusive answer.
